This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

I read Wolfe & Gaiman's _Walking Tour of the Shambles_ last night.
I'd say it's fairly entertaining, and worth picking up for
completists, but reminds that neither one of these fellows' primary
strength is as a humorist.  There's a little nod to Kelly Link in it,
and the dedication is to Lafferty.
